Intruder allegedly breaks window in attempt to enter home, ignores verbal warnings — so homeowner lets his gun do the talking

December 1, 2023 by Dave Urbanski Leave a Comment

An intruder allegedly broke a window in his attempt to enter a North Carolina home Wednesday night and ignored verbal warnings — so the homeowner opened fire on the intruder, sending him to a hospital.

What are the details?

Knightdale police said the incident occurred around 11:20 p.m. in the 1300 block of Redwood Valley Lane, WTVD-TV reported.

The homeowner told the police the suspect broke a window to get inside the house and ignored verbal warnings before the homeowner shot him, the station said.

Police said they found 35-year-old Juan Acevedo of Knightdale with a gunshot wound when they arrived at the scene, WTVD said, adding that he was taken to WakeMed Trauma Center. The station said information on his condition hasn’t been released.

No charges have been filed against the homeowner, investigators told WTVD, although officials are consulting with the district attorney’s office to discuss the case. The station said no details have been released regarding what charges Acevedo may face.

Anyone in the area with video or information about the incident is urged to contact police at 919-217-2281, WTVD said.

How are folks reacting?

Folks commenting underneath WTVD’s Facebook post about the incident seem decidedly supportive of the homeowner’s actions:

  • “Well he F’ed around and found out,” one commenter wrote.
  • “THE GUY WAS BREAKING IN. Charge him with breaking and entering and tell the homeowner thank you for doing what they are supposed to do,” another commenter said. “End of story.”
  • “Need to read a feel-good story every day,” another commenter noted.
  • “Only mistake is that he’s at the hospital!! Not the morgue!!” another commenter opined.
  • “Good for him!!!! So glad he got him,” another commenter declared.
  • “He won’t break into another house for a while,” another commenter observed.

Detroit gas station clerk who fatally shot teen acted in self-defense, prosecutor says

November 29, 2023 by Dave Urbanski Leave a Comment

A Detroit gas station clerk who fatally shot a teenager over the weekend acted in self-defense, WJBK-TV reported, citing the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office.

What are the details?

The prosecutor’s office said Yaqoub Nagi, 17, walked into a gas station in the 9100 block of Dearborn Street just after 1:05 a.m. Saturday and walked behind the counter, the station reported.

Authorities said Nagi was holding an object with his hands together and pointing as if he was holding a handgun, WJBK noted, adding that the clerk confronted and fired at Nagi multiple times, killing him.

Police found Nagi lying inside the gas station behind the door to the front counter with gunshot wounds to his upper body, the Detroit News reported, citing prosecutors. The paper added that Nagi was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said a gas station employee was arrested, according to an initial WJBK story.

But prosecutor Kym Worthy said the clerk was defending himself under Michigan law, the station reported.

“Last summer, there were a series of shootings at Detroit gas stations — some of them resulted in a loss of life,” Worthy said, according to WJBK. “This case is yet another deadly shooting in a gas station, but the facts are very different. The evidence in this case shows that the actions of the store clerk were in lawful self-defense, and as a result this office will not be charging him with any crime.”

Michigan law states that anyone who is not committing a crime can use deadly force against someone if the individual has a legal right to be there and believes deadly force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to themselves or another person, the Detroit News said.

Prosecutors did not release the clerk’s name because he was not charged, the News added.

Michigan township forms militia to protect citizens’ 2nd Amendment rights from Gov. Whitmer’s gun regulations

November 29, 2023 by Joseph MacKinnon Leave a Comment

A township in Muskegon County has declared itself a Second Amendment sanctuary and created a maximally inclusive militia in hopes of protecting citizens’ constitutional rights from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s gun control laws.

What’s the background?

Democrats control both chambers of the Michigan state legislature. With this power and Whitmer’s signature, they have successfully pushed through
numerous bills aimed at curtailing Second Amendment rights.

For instance,
SB 83, ratified by Whitmer in May, allows family members, quacks, cops, roommates, and others to petition to void another citizen’s Second Amendment rights if they can halfway persuade a judge it might prevent the targeted citizen from doing future harm either to themselves or to others.

In the face of the leftist power trifecta’s gun control efforts, constitutionalist officials across the state have signaled their opposition with largely symbolic local ordinances and resolutions.

The Holland Sentinel
indicated earlier this year that well over 50 of Michigan’s 83 counties have adopted resolutions declaring themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries or at the very least reaffirming their support for gun rights. Several townships and at least one city have followed suit.

The Holton Township Militia

Holton Township Clerk Malinda Pego, who is also co-chair of the Michigan GOP, introduced a motion at a
Nov. 14 board meeting declaring the township a Second Amendment sanctuary.

The
resolution stated that “the Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of our nation; … the Second Amendment to the Constitution states, ‘A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed’; and … the United States Supreme Court has affirmed that the right of an individual to ‘keep and bear arms,’ as protected under the Second Amendment, is incorporated by the Due Process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment against the states.”

Noting that board members will remain steadfast in upholding the the U.S. and Michigan constitutions and oppose “any law that would unconstitutionally restrict the rights of the citizens of Holton Township to keep and bear arms,” the resolution called for the technical establishment of a militia.

Accordingly, all legal residents with primary residency within the township who are 18 or older, capable of passing a federal firearms background check, and desire to do so can become a member of the Holton Township Militia simply by indicating their intent “on open media or to friends and or family or by letter.”

The resolution further claimed that admission into the militia protects various items from federal, executive, county and state regulations, including all federally permissible ammunition of any current caliber; all federally legal accessories, including stocks, grips, optics, magazines, clips, and suppressors; and body armor legal under federal law.

The motion passed with the support of all board members with the exception of the treasurer, who was not present, meaning Holton Township, 200 miles northwest of Detroit, will “not acknowledge any new laws that are associated with red flag laws, or any other infringement of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution” or “acknowledge any new regulation that prohibits open carry or concealed carry.”

Managing expectations

Township Supervisor Alan Jager told WXMI-TV that in the face of Democratic legislation like SB 83, militia membership will ensure that citizens see some sort of due process when threatened with having their firearms seized.

Jager, who voted in support of the resolution, said, “If you got to court, [you can say] I have a right to these guns because I need them to protect myself and to protect my community.”

“Then you can maybe have a jury of your peers, or at least have a lawyer present and try to explain your case … my neighbor just don’t like me, so he called on me and now I’m gonna lose my guns,” said Jager.

Jager
told Michigan News Source there’s little demand on militia members, as there are no monthly meetings or paramilitary activities.

“All you have to do is say, ‘I’m in.’ If you don’t want to be in, all you have to do is just never say anything,” said Jager.

The township supervisor suggested the savage Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israel revealed the need to remain vigilant and not to be caught off guard.

“They took their guns away. An then look what happened. 1,400 people died,” said Jager. “And now they’re telling people in that same area ‘buy guns to protect yourself, because you’re not safe.”

While a militia might defend against attackers, attorney Randall Levine
told WOOD-TV that membership in a militia would not ultimately protect a resident from subjection to state laws regulating firearms.

“I think a resolution is more of a statement,” said Levine. “There’s nothing in the creation of a militia which is going to alter in any way the prescriptions in Michigan law that pertain to responsible gun ownership and use.”

“How they’re used, the fact that if they’re used responsibly, where they can be carried, how they can be carried is a subject that is exclusively within the purview of the Legislature,” added Levine.

Texas cops respond to call about home invasion in progress. But homeowner has a gun — and doesn’t wait around to be rescued.

November 28, 2023 by Dave Urbanski Leave a Comment

Police in Frisco, Texas, said a homeowner opened fire on and wounded a man who was trying to break into the homeowner’s residence Sunday night.

What are the details?

Police said officers responded to a suspicious activity call from the 10400 block of Belfort Drive just after 8 p.m. Frisco is about 45 minutes north of Dallas.

Police said a resident told dispatch that an unknown subject broke into the backyard, pulled a ladder off the house, and used it to break a window.

But as officers approached the location, police said they reported hearing gunshots. After securing the scene, police said officers found 18-year-old Clinton Montgomery of North Richland Hills inside the home — with a gunshot wound.

Police said Montgomery was trying to enter the residence when the homeowner shot him.

Frisco Fire Department personnel took Montgomery to a local hospital for treatment where he remains in custody for burglary of a habitation — a second-degree felony that carries a maximum penalty of two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000, police said.

Police said anyone with information that might be related to the incident can contact them at 972-292-6010, and tips can be submitted anonymously by texting FRISCOPD and sending the tip to 847411 (tip411) or by downloading the Frisco PD app.

How are folks reacting?

As you might expect, commenters on the police department’s Facebook page entry regarding the incident are happy about the outcome. Here’s a sampling:

  • “Good job homeowner,” one commenter wrote.
  • “Good job homeowner,” another commenter said. “I’m glad you were OK. Criminals need to learn. Protect yourselves out there.”
  • “Great job homeowner, but next time do us all a favor and take the intruder OUT for good!!” another commenter implored.
  • “Good guy with a gun,” another commenter observed.
  • “Don’t mess with Texans!” another commenter declared.
